The most original bouquets of sweets

All girls, young and old, love flowers and cannot live without sweets. When going to a birthday, a date, a wedding celebration, or just wanting to pamper a friend, daughter, your girlfriend or spouse, and cheer her up on a weekday, you should definitely give bouquets and sweets.

Just flowers and a box of chocolate will be both beautiful and tasty, but a bouquet of chocolates will be an original and unexpected gift. Here it is worth noting that this is also economical, but you need to put your whole soul into such a thing, show imagination, which means truly love, do not spare your free time and think about the one for whom the sweet flowers are intended. And making a unique thing yourself is always interesting and pleasant.

What you need and how to do it different bouquets from candies with your own hands - below is described step by step, and you can see what happens if you show a little patience in a selection of photos of bouquets of famous and very tasty Italian candies Raffaello and Ferrero Rocher.

Any round-shaped candy will do, even caramel, depending on the girl’s preferences, but it’s better to learn how to make a bouquet using “rafael” ones - they are light in weight, which means the flowers will stay straight.

Thinking through the idea of ​​a sweet composition

First of all, you should decide on the type of flowers. Then think about the design - whether it will be flowers collected in a regular bouquet, wrapped in gift paper, or a composition in a basket.

After this, you can go to the store for the girl’s favorite candies and decor - ribbons, small toys, beads that will decorate the bouquet - they can be purchased in the sewing accessories department.

For a bouquet you will need multi-colored corrugated paper - it is sold in flower kiosks and departments selling handicraft supplies, glue, a basket or small box if you decide to make a custom bouquet, and a good mood. It’s better to learn from the simplest option.

The simplest sweet bouquet

To make it, you will also need toothpicks and cocktail skewers, a piece of foam plastic, sheets of cardboard with a pattern (to make it more beautiful), a glue gun (more convenient with it) and tape. You can take white paper (it’s more elegant and touching).

We make a frame: we roll a sheet of cardboard into a tube and glue it together. From a piece of polystyrene foam we cut out the head of a flower, to which the petals will be attached, and place it on a cardboard tube (after having previously pasted the foam plastic with paper). Then you should seat the entire head with skewers coated with glue, or insert them later, with the buds already strung on them.

Cut out a cardboard circle with a diameter of 25 cm, with a hole in the middle. We wrap the resulting part with a satin ribbon or variegated braid. If the tube is made of ordinary gray cardboard, then it must be wrapped in corrugated paper. Now the circle of cardboard is glued to the foam head - it should sit tightly, since the entire structure will rest on it.

We put a transparent plastic bag on each candy - you can make it from an ordinary bag by welding the seams with a sharp knife heated over a kitchen stove gas burner, you can buy a pack of sachets at a jewelry store.

Then we insert a toothpick into each “rafael” and tie the bags at the base of the toothpicks with ribbon bows.

Let's start assembling the bouquet: insert toothpicks with candies closer to each other into the foam head.

We move on to decorating with paper flowers, beads, rhinestones, and ribbons. It’s good to make flowers from scraps of fabric: take a wide satin ribbon, cut out circles from it, cut out the edges to prevent them from unraveling, treat them with candles or lighters over the fire, and sew a pearl into the center of each flower.

It’s a good idea to lightly sprinkle the bouquet with the girl’s favorite perfume or place a couple of drops on the cardboard stem of the bouquet aromatic oil- be careful not to overdo it, otherwise the recipient will have to eat sweets with the taste of perfume.

"Tulips"

The bouquet will come out very tender. You will need scraps of different chintz, perhaps with a white pattern, or two or several different pink and red shades.

In principle, the fabric can be of any color, because tulips can even be blue; the very principle of wrapping the candy in a flap is important to get a bud of the desired shape.

You can take something other than chintz thick fabric, which does not wrinkle, but breaks at the folds (satin, linen) - the bud should hold its shape well.

You will also need dark green felt, 2 mm thick wire, wooden grill skewers and a roll of decorative green tapes with adhesive side.

Sweets are needed in the shape of pyramids, for example, truffles (or rectangular).

• Cut the fabric into squares with a side of 10 cm.
• Place two candies with their bases facing each other, place the sharp end of one of the candies vertically in the center of a square of fabric and tightly wrap the candies with a flap overlapping on four sides - you will get an unopened bud.
• Insert a skewer and a piece of wire under the fabric, wrap with adhesive tape.
• Cut leaves from felt and tie them to a skewer with wire.
• Collect flowers into a bouquet and wrap them in corrugated paper.

"Roses"

We need candies in the shape of pyramids, wicker basket, pink and green crepe paper, artificial rose leaves, 2 mm wire, adhesive tape, glue, white rubber bands for banknotes.

Cut a rectangle out of pink paper, bend it in half, and round one of the corners. Insert candy into the resulting envelope.

At the sharp base of the envelope, wrap the edge of the bud with an elastic band: the flat side of the candy will become the top of the bud - where the corner is rounded.

Insert a piece of wire under the paper required length– at least 15 cm. Secure the base of the bud with adhesive tape.

Cut out rectangular petals from paper, twist the upper corners (you can wrap them around a pencil). Now stretch the middle of the petal - the corrugated paper stretches well. Volumetric petals are ready.

Glue the petals to the base of the fabric bud. From green paper, cut out narrow leaves for the place where the bud connects to the stem and glue them.

Take a roll of adhesive tape, wrap it several times around the base of the bud, and then wind it down the wire stem until the very end of the wire.

Give each petal a slightly different shape by stretching the paper to imitate a living flower blooming.

For a basket of roses you will need to make about 35 pieces. Wrap a satin ribbon around the handle of the basket, tie a piece of narrow satin ribbon on the handle with a long, elegant bow. For fragrance, you can apply a few drops of rose oil to the petals.

"Iridescent Bride's Bouquet"

Ferrero Rocher chocolates couldn't be more suitable - they taste great and look luxurious and expensive. You can dilute Raffaello's composition.

You will need long wooden skewers, 2 mm thick wire, foil or corrugated paper, gold ribbons, organza scraps and tape.

Wrap each candy with a large sheet of foil so that the stem is twisted from it, and the top of the candy remains open so that it can be seen.

Wrap each bud in transparent organza - this fabric shimmers elegantly and sparkles in the rays of light, secure the organza with a ribbon at the base. To prevent the edges of the fabric from fraying, you can singe them over the fire of a candle or lighter.

To make edible bouquets, not only seasonal or exotic fruits and berries are used, but also other tasty, bright, aromatic ingredients.

• Greenery: lettuce, parsley, dill, mint, arugula, basil.
• Spices and aromatic herbs: vanilla, cinnamon, bay leaf.
• Mushrooms: champignons, oyster mushrooms.
• Nuts: almonds, walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine.
• Candies and sweets: marshmallows, macaroons, Raffaello, marshmallow, chocolate, meringue.
• Flowers: live, paper, dried flowers.

The principle of composing bouquets can be completely different: you can select fruits and vegetables according to color or “to the taste” of the person for whom you are preparing a gift. The main thing is that the ingredients are combined in size and look harmonious in one composition.

To attach all the details of the bouquet, various auxiliary tools and materials.

• Skewers or bamboo sticks- for fruits.
• Vases, baskets, cardboard boxes- for installing skewers.
• Steep dough, polystyrene foam, floral sponge- for the base.
• Cling film, kraft paper, foil, sisal fiber- for package.
• Wire, twine, colored ribbons, scotch- for fastening.

Fruit bouquets are a fairly new hobby and should be decorated with a few simple rules.

• Fruits and vegetables for a bouquet can be pre-cut or used whole. All ingredients must be ripe, fresh, without stains or damage.
• Before you start making a gift composition, you need the ingredients rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Some masters use figured cutting to create fruit bouquets, cookie cutters, shredding knives.
• Do not take fruits and berries that are too juicy, because soft pieces will fall off the skewer. To attach soft fruits and berries, such as strawberries, to a skewer, first place a small slice of apple on a skewer or other hard fruit.
• And sometimes half a grape is strung on top of the main fruit to mask the punctures.
• Cut fruits are wrapped in cling film so that the product does not weather and darken. You can also sprinkle the finished fruit composition with lemon juice.
• For greater effect, the berries are coated with chocolate or glaze with water, gelatin and lemon juice.
• When making a bouquet for adults, you can inject a few drops of alcohol into the middle of the fruit using a syringe.
